Beth Guertal, Ph.D., Professor of Turfgrass Management and Soil Fertility, Auburn University, Auburn, Alabama
The seminar will discuss the ‘other’ essential nutrients – sulfur, calcium, magnesium – and some others that are ‘likely’ essential elements, such as silicon. Where do these nutrients fit in your management scheme, and do you even need to apply them as a part of your fertility plan? We’ll talk about some of these and their possible use in disease suppression, and why you might use others if you have sodic soils.
